Frosted Apple Spice Handcrafted Soap

Frosted Apple Spice

Here in NW Wisconsin, it went from hot summer to chilly autumn
practically overnight! Sadly, all of my butternut and sunshine squash looked a tad
translucent when I checked on them Sunday morning. Although had I
covered many other plants to protect them from frost, I totally forgot
to cover the squash - which live in their own garden behind the garage. I wonder if the people at the huge, nearby pumpkin patch had to cover all those pumpkins on Saturday night!

Because of a hard frost last spring after the McIntosh tree was in full blossom, it bore no fruit this year, although I do still have dried apple peel and several pints of applesauce from last year's crop.

There's something so inviting about the fragrance of spiced apple! Do you remember going to the apple orchard when you were a kid? We did, and
they gave us spiced apple cider as well as samples of several apple
varieties. I remember the blue skies, the warm sun, the cool air, and the bees that hovered near the apple bins. Our Frosted Apple Spice homemade soap will most certainly take you back to
those wonderful weekends at the apple orchard (minus the bees.)

Frosted Apple Spice is made with all natural base oils. Creamy,
fragrant, natural. No animal products are ever used in our homemade soaps. It's a favorite soap for a
quick shower or a luxurious bath. With dried and ground apple peel from
our McIntosh tree, Frosted Apple Spice soap has just the right amount of
botanical. Both the apple peel and the textured top of this bar of soap
make it a beautiful, visually appealing, 'frosted' bar of soap.

i am allergic to perfumes, but not to cinnamon apple spice, i bought a candle yesterday and it is scenting up my kitchen right now with the sweet smell of apple spice. cranberry and vanilla are the other two scents that don't make me sneeze and cough. i love spiced apple cider or even plain apple cider, cold or hot. we have a cool spell this morning, woke up to 72

This looks amazing! I promised my husband I wouldn't buy anything until we have a place to live, yes, we are kind of just floating around at the moment, but I want soaps! He is afraid it is going to get lost in the mail....

I can't believe how fast the weather turned all of a sudden. I missed sweatshirt weather in Texas.

VOCATION

"Our task as image-bearing, God-loving, Christ-shaped, Spirit-filled Christians, following Christ and shaping our world, is to announce redemption to a world that has discovered its fallenness, to announce healing to a world that has discovered its brokenness, to proclaim love and trust to a world that knows only exploitation, fear, and suspicion..." - N.T. Wright, The Challenge of Jesus

SOUND LIVING

“In short, according to the Old Testament and ancient Jewish tradition, the hope of God’s people was for the restoration of Israel from exile, the ingathering of the Gentile nations, and the renewal of creation itself. It was a hope that God, by means of a new exodus, would one day “make all things new” (Revelation 21:5).” - Brant Pitre, Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist, Unlocking the Secrets of the Last Supper
